(RNS) — "On Thursday, Feb. 16, 2023, the United Arab Emirates officially opened the Abrahamic Family House, consisting of a mosque, church and synagogue that face one another on the same square in Abu Dhabi. Beside each one stands a tall pillar illuminating an Islamic crescent, Christian cross and a Jewish menorah, respectively, shining a hopeful light for interfaith tolerance and understanding. Something good is happening in the desert — but will it make a lasting difference?"

I Samuel 5:1: [1] And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Eben-ezer unto Ashdod.
"They took it from a place where God's blessing resided to Ashdod. Why there?
[2] When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
"Dagon was the fish god. You ever see the pope when he comes in with that hat where the part looks like a fish mouth? Go in the bookstore and get Alexander Hislop's book 'Two Babylons' and he's got wood carvings and pictures of it from 1,000 B.C.
"When Rome would take over a country, they would do what Israel did. They would assimilate all of their gods, and all their paraphernalia INTO the worship of Christ," explains Richard Jordan.
"They take the ark of God and place it before Dagon. By the way, when they put it BY Dagon, they're adding them together. They're ecumenicalists. They're going to put Israel's ark in with their god and we're all going to be together.
"Nebuchadnezzar did that; he'd take the things out of the temple of God and put them into his temple. Any time you see the ecumenicalists all get together, that's what you're dealing with: 'Let's mix truth and error; let's put God and the gods together because they're all equal.' Egh, it doesn't work.
"Watch what happens: [3] And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.
"Dagon has hit the ground and he's bowed down to the earth before the ark of God. I don't know about you, but if I had sent my god in front of the ark and now he's bowing down to Him, I might have got the idea that my god thinks that's who I should be worshipping!
"Well, they set him up in his place again. He can't even get up himself. That's what Isaiah says about how stupid it is to worship false gods. If my god couldn't get up himself, wouldn't you get the idea that maybe you're on the wrong team?
"But if you live in darkness and that's who you love, because you love what he lets you do, you make excuses for him.
Verse 4: [4] And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him.
"Only the stump of Dagon was left after that. I mean, the dude's done come to pieces. The guy's fallen apart; his head, his hands. They love, they serve, they worship--they took his advice, his counsel, his thinking and they did what he said and he's gone to pieces.
"You know what happens when you follow Dagon? Everything's going to go to pieces for you before the ark of God. Now, while you're all by yourself and don't have the truth of God around, it might be okay. That's why men love darkness rather than light.
"The title for today's message is Dagon and the Little Mermaid because Dagon was the Babylonian god of fertility and nature. He was the son of Baal. He was the personification of the primordial waters that man evolved out of; emerged out of.
"That's why he's represented in idolatry as half-human, half-fish. Disney animates it as the Little Mermaid. You know what they're doing? They're inculcating into the minds of children and adults--you have this lovable little half-woman, half-fish and you don't know where it came from.
"Listen to me, Dagon was the god of evolution. Dagon was the god teaching the idea; behind Dagon was the religion of evolutionism that's taught in the government schools and in religion all over the world.
"When you hear atheists crying about Jesus Christ being taught in the government schools, they're literally pulling their tongue out of their own mouth because what they want taught as fact is the 'theory of evolution', which is really a religion.
"You understand, folks, the Babylonian doctrine teaching the religion of evolution demonstrated by Dagon--that was picked up by the Greek philosophers. The religion of evolution didn't begin with Charles Darwin. Google it. It made its appearance in early Greek philosophy. They used the term 'emanation,' asserting that all things originated from water."
